Description
Kaede competed as a Selector in the second round of Selector Battles within the Lostorage timeline. Her background implies potential abuse, fostering a self-deprecating personality marked by shyness and sensitivity. This emotional fragility left her susceptible to manipulation. She had long brown hair usually in pigtails, a chin beauty mark, and wore a pink cardigan over a brown and white dress.
Her LRIG, Layla, initially posed as supportive but systematically exploited Kaede's vulnerability and internal darkness, intensifying her existing hatred towards others. Layla pushed Kaede towards a desire to make everyone disappear. This manipulation culminated during a critical battle against Kiyoi Mizushima, shown in flashbacks within the OVA *-missing link-*, approximately six months before the main series.
Down to her last coin and facing defeat, Kaede panicked. Layla actively taunted and provoked her, dismissing her fear and urging her to embrace destructive desires with statements like "Stop acting like a frightened kitten" and "make everyone disappear." This triggered a physical manifestation of Kaede's inner darkness—a black hole opening in her stomach. The darkness enveloped her, inducing a state of possession. Under this influence, she activated her Coin Bet Skill "Doping" to launch an aggressive assault.
Despite the attack's initial intensity, Layla sustained significant damage as the battle progressed. The possessed Kaede collapsed after a reflected attack, vanishing immediately upon losing her final coin. Layla then seized Kaede's physical body, standing in reality and callously remarking about making her former Selector "incredibly vulgar" at the end. Kiyoi later reflected Layla seized control by exploiting the dormant darkness within Kaede's heart, not just through battles.
Layla maintained control of Kaede's body throughout most of the subsequent conflict, using it freely and referring contemptuously to Kaede as "a disgusting woman." This control persisted until the permanent cessation of the Selector Battles in the final episode, after which Kaede was restored to her original body.
Her deck utilized a Red Doping strategy with Layla as her LRIG card. Her known relationships consist of her adversarial final battle against Kiyoi Mizushima and her profoundly toxic dynamic with Layla, who transitioned from false friend to manipulator and eventual body thief.
